"... listen, I always think Maka's state is not right these days! He's like... Well, I don't know how to describe it, but it's not quite right - there's a sense of conflict!"
One snowy morning, Hermione, Harry, Ron and Neville, their four little lions in the same grade, were hurrying down the corridor with their books.
On the way to change the classroom, Hermione has been trying to say what she has observed.
However, it was obvious that she was the only one among the four present who took Maka's ancient magic writing class, so the other three didn't have much chance to see Maka on weekdays.
"A sense of disobedience? What does that mean?" Ron wondered, but he didn't bother too much. Instead, he continued, "in short, where did you find something wrong?"
Harry on the other side shook his head and said with a natural look:
"Isn't Maka often in a state of 'something's wrong'? I think he may encounter problems in some magic research again - yes, I'm talking about those studies that we probably won't understand in our life!"
"No, it's different from that! It's totally different!" Hermione said immediately. "I remember I told you that Marca brought her textbook every time she gave a lecture, but he didn't open it once - but just these days, he opened it in class!"
"Marca is also human!" said Ron. "He wrote the textbook for magic literature class, but if he can't remember clearly, of course he can turn it over and confirm it - seriously, I really hope he can forget it more times, which will make me feel that he and we are still the same species!"
"But he didn't open the book to see anything!" Hermione frowned. "In fact, he didn't open it until after the bell rang and his homework was announced."
At this point, she paused a little, and then emphatically added:
"By the way, I still remember that he usually left the classroom after finishing his homework, but he didn't do that recently. Several times, he didn't even come out last until we were all gone!"
"Well... What's strange about this?" Harry wondered as he walked. "Are you worried that Marca was possessed by the one named 'halbo'? Hey, relax! Even if all the teachers and students were controlled, Marca would be fine - you see, even I could resist!"
However, even if Harry took himself as an example, he could not comfort Hermione's doubts and uneasiness.
"You can't be so sure," she said seriously. "Last time I mentioned to him that we should pay attention to everyone, including his own abnormalities. At that time, he also agreed with me... The strong black wizard in ancient times can't be underestimated!"
"Oh, we didn't underestimate it," Ron said. "You know - Harry has been trying to control Gryffindor's sword all this time. Neville and I practice hard almost every day, including you?"
"I know, but I'm not talking about this --"
Hermione was slightly dissatisfied with the peace of mind shown by Harry and Ron, and felt that their confidence in Marca seemed a little too much. But when she wanted to say something, she was interrupted by Neville who didn't say a word all the way.
"Well... Hermione, the potion class is coming," he said cautiously. "Besides, if you're worried about Marca, why don't you just ask him?"
"Oh, I think it's a good idea, too."
Ron heard the speech and immediately secretly gave Neville a thumbs up, making Neville scratch the back of his head and show a simple smile.
……
Hermione is indeed a very observant girl, because even Marka didn't notice these seemingly meaningless details.
At this time, just after a class, he hurried back to the office and opened the window when he came behind his desk.
Another ordinary barn owl jumped in and showed him a small letter box on his leg.
Although there are still people at Black's old house - at least Lenny Lena and others have been looking after the house, the original function of the information transfer station has stopped.
Today's intelligence is all from Kingsley in Auror's office, which is really "first-hand information".
In fact, after the last visit of aginbad with the reviewers of the Federation, skrinje's previous task of sending people to Israel's magic world is hard to change.
After that, Kingsley failed to make the trip because he had to deal with many matters of Auror's office director. However, lupin and Sirius, two "brothers of different surnames", went there together to explore.
Maka naturally knew this and agreed to it soon.
Now that the Federation has begun to prepare the plan for the raid, the acquisition of intelligence has become a top priority. Although Maka felt a little dangerous, she also understood lupin and Sirius... Especially Sirius's temper.
Let those two people take care of each other. As long as they are careful enough, the problem may not be too big.
Of course, just in case, Maka sent a few more alienated eight eyed giant spiders along with her.
Therefore, the intelligence ciphertext in his hand was actually sent to Kingsley by lupin, and then passed to him by Kingsley.
After opening the note, Maka first used a bigger curse on it. Then she spread the bigger paper and interpreted the ciphertext written on it.
In terms of content, lupin and Sirius acted separately at the beginning. Moreover, they all understand the danger of rash action, so the initial exploration is a taste.
This time, they only looked at two places, namely, the ruins of the Israeli Ministry of magic and the Hebrew Academy of magic, which is likely to have been occupied by halbo.
As for the distribution of investigation work, Lu Ping, who is more willing to use his brain, is naturally responsible.
Sirius was in charge of the ruins of the Ministry of magic, where he saw a large area of charred building debris.
From the description alone, Maka can see that the flame that almost wrapped the whole building was very strong, because even many collapsed and broken brick walls turned into black ash like cinders.
There, Sirius made a few rough turns and couldn't find anything strange.
Or, in fact, it's strange everywhere, isn't it?
On the other side of the Hebrew School of magic, Lupin, who was in charge of the investigation, did not try to enter this time, but chose to monitor the whole 24-hour process from a distance.
So naturally, he easily found the notice posted on the notice board at the entrance of the college.
"Teach students? Spell learning?" Maka looked at the announcement in the ciphertext and wondered, "what is he going to do? He can't want to play 'investing in the future' at this time?"
In its current form, halbo is far from gaining a firm foothold in the Israeli magic world.
He may have deceived most ordinary wizards, but he can't deceive some smart people - I believe he knows it.
Therefore, in this case, the most urgent thing for Haier Bo is to develop its own underground forces at full speed.
She quickly silently read the detailed information ciphertext. Maka destroyed it and sat down to write a reply with only a few sentences.
He hasn't asked lupin and Sirius to do anything at present. Instead of directing blindly here, he might as well remind them to be careful again.
Especially lupin, who was staring at the Hebrew magic school, did something dangerous. So Maka specially asked him to stay farther away and not to monitor too often.
They have just arrived there for a short time. It is their most urgent task to lurk down and integrate themselves into the local society.
He rolled up the quickly written note and stuffed it into the letter box. Maka pointed out the window and signaled that the little guy could go. When it sends the note to Kingsley, the other party will transfer the message to lupin.
……
At noon, Marca, who had just filled her stomach, was stopped by Hermione.
"What's the matter?"
He saw Hermione's expression very serious and somewhat strange - what happened again? Shouldn't you? The recent Hogwarts has been as peaceful as the ten years before he entered school.
"Well... Marca, come with me."
Hermione didn't say much. After pulling ramaka's robe, she walked directly to the door of the auditorium. Seeing this, Marca subconsciously looked at the Gryffindor table, but saw Harry and Ron Qi shrug at him.
At the moment he followed Hermione's footsteps and walked out, Luna on Ravenclaw's side suddenly raised her head, looked at the door with a spoon in her mouth.
She blinked, her long eyelashes flickered slightly.
After a few seconds, Luna took the spoon out of her mouth and dug a large spoon of pudding into the mouth. Then she stood up excitedly and chased after her while tasting the smoothness of egg cream pudding.
"Oh, now I'm worried about Marca," Ron noticed the scene. He whispered, "if you change me, you can only choose to run away..."
Harry, sitting next to him, glanced at his good friend.
"Well, what about the girl you danced with at Slughorn's ball? Why don't I seem to have seen you with her?"
"Hmm?" Ron was stunned when he heard the speech. "Er... I don't know."
"Ha?" said Harry immediately. "Don't be coy. Go and ask her out! Take a walk and look at the stars. I heard Ginny say that girls like this romantic atmosphere... Of course, it's good to play Quidditch together!"
"She doesn't play Quidditch!" Ron said helplessly. "Besides, do you think I didn't invite her?"
